Three years after joining hands with Judwaa 2, David Dhawan and Varun Dhawan once again come together and again, it is a remake of the veteran director’s hit film, Coolie No 1. The trailer of the comedy is out and looks like old wine in a new bottle. The actor is paired opposite Sara Ali Khan and the venture promises every ingredient associated with a ‘masala’ film: comedy, action, romance, drama and more.

Coolie No 1 trailer out
The Coolie No 1 trailer starts with Paresh Rawal expressing delight about his wish to see his daughter getting married to the 'richest man in India', and she lives up to that expectation by finding the man who ‘owns the Burj Khalifa’. The man turns out to be Varun Dhawan who claims to be Singapore king’s son and manages to woo Sara Ali Khan, and is seen painting the town red with her.
But there is a twist in the tale when Paresh Rawal spots him as a coolie in Mumbai. This leads to chaos after Varun comes up with the ‘twins’ revelation and Paresh Rawal’s other daughter Shikha Talsania also comes into the picture.

Varun Dhawan looks in form, be it faking his identity of a ‘Richie Rich’ or a coolie mimicking Mithun Chakraborty.

The trailer offered almost everything that fans of hardcore commerical cinema look for, be it numerous grandly picturised and choreographed songs, one being a remake of the classic Husn Hai Suhana. There are numerous action sequences as well, but one will have to wait to see if the VFX is better than what is visible in the trailer.
While there are numerous explicit jokes, the presence of veteran actors known for their comic timing, Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav and Jaaved Jaaferi should excite audiences.
